    (2 Timothy 1:1-18) Paul , an apostle of  Jesus Christ  by the will of God, according to the promise of life which is in  Christ Jesus ,   To  Timothy , my dearly beloved son: Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father and  Christ Jesus  our Lord.   I thank God, whom I serve from my forefathers with pure conscience, that without ceasing I have remembrance of thee in my prayers night and day;   Greatly desiring to see thee, being mindful of thy tears, that I may be filled with joy;   When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also.   Wherefore I put thee in remembrance that thou stir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting on of my hands.For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.   Be not thou therefore ashamed of th...

    (2 Timothy 2:1-13) Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in  Christ  Jesus .   And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier of  Jesus  Christ .   No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier.   And if a man also strive for masteries, yet is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully.   The husbandman that laboureth must be first partaker of the fruits.   Consider what I say; and the Lord give thee understanding in all things.   Remember that  Jesus  Christ  of the seed of  David  was raised from the dead according to my gospel:   Wherein I suffer trouble, as an evil doer, even unto bonds; but the word of God is not bound.   Therefore I endure ...

  (2 Timothy 2:14-26) Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.   Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.   But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.   And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;   Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.   Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of  Christ  depart from iniquity.   But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honour, and some to dishonour.   If a man therefore purge himself from th...
